New MGL Modern/Vintage Series amps released today. Amps have new versions of our Vintage Dirty & Hi-Gain voicings with a more modern tone and feel. Single or 2-channel 50w and 2-channel 100w. Here are the first few demos. Guitars straight in, NO pedals or diode clipping used.





 
Amps sound great! I love the idea of a vintage/modern approach in the same amp. Many times you’re forced into one camp or the other unless you go modeling.
 
that red tolex ............ never seen that before ..... dead friggin sexy !!
Yes, super cool tolex! Wanted something new that we hadn’t used before. It’s called British Garnet it’s got a little bit of black on the top of each dimple and that makes it unique. In low indoor lighting, it looks blood red. That with all of the black is badass.

OK .... I have heard of the British Garnet stuff I remember the purple being pretty cool too ...... but I didn't know the red could get that blood red look !! Insanely Cool !!
 
The first seconds in the first vid of Jim firing it up it was an instant, fuck yes. I wish you luck with them. Way out of my price range but at least they sound great.
 
Congrats MGL.. I'm getting confused at the line up.. so this new amp has more gain and is voiced differently than the Jimmy 100 watter? Is this for modern metal and the jimmy amp more classic sounding with less gain? Or is this the jimmy circuit wise, in all respects, save for the resistor brand being mallory?

The descriptions on the website are very detailed. The 100w is the same basic circuit as Jimmy’s original amp that we still offer. The new amps have a more modern version of our Hi-Gain voicing that’s more aggressive with more gain but still very Marshall voiced. And the amps also have our Vintage Dirty voicing to get classic ‘70’s to early ‘80’s tones. Hence the name, Modern/Vintage. The circuit is a mix of real NOS mustard caps and SoZo caps. The SoZo caps have a more modern tone with more gain and less mids than original mustard caps. Also a little more compressed and have a more greasy fluid feel. The original still has plenty of gain, but yes it’s more classic sounding. Mallory doesn’t make resistors, but they do make tone caps. We don’t use Mallory caps in these amps.
 
Damn....
That's all I can say.
I need one of those cabs. They are *chefs kiss*. ❤️❤️

The amps sound great in the vids. Jimmy is a perfect demo guy for MGL.
Is there a vid showing off the vintage side ?
 
We can probably work that out. I'd be willing to ship you an amp to check out.

Absolutely! I'll record some clips or a video for you if you want

I've always wanted to give one of your amps a test drive and it's just never happened
 
Great guy to deal with.
Who else would ship a guy to try it out.

Still got your Private stash of NOS Tubes?
